A Green Conference
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We will follow in the Buddha's footsteps, "Leading to Liberation," by bringing "suitable things - things favorable to mental development."
The Sakyadhita conference will be as green as possible. We will do our best to learn to live simply, protect and be in tune with nature. The venue will create an environment where the heart can open and the Dhamma can flow easily. Do not expect anything glamorous. We will present a Thai artistic way of living. We will meet in a Dhamma garden where we can relax. Please consider coming to the conference as if you are coming for a retreat.
The conference hosts will provide a reusable water bottle, "Dhammasawasdee," which you can refill throughout the conference. If you would like bring your own, feel free to do so. Wear shoes that will slip off easily. Bring your own cushion, if you like, since we will often sit on the floor.
- Modest, comfortable clothing
